I never realized The Scream and the Krakatoa Eruption were the same year. Thank you for that piece of trivia!!!

The most iconic indonesian volcanoes:
- Toba (almost wiped out human civilization)
- Samalas/Rinjani (the little ice age)
- Tambora (the year without summer)
- Krakatoa (the loudest sound in history)

Samalas(now Rinjani) and Tambora located in the same province called Nusa Tenggara Barat.

Yeah I remember the eruption in Colombia 1985 and that little girl that was trapped in the mud and how people had to slowly watch her die.

What about Top 10 Civilization Enders. Like, off the top of my head, I can think of how the Thera volcano and affiliated Tsunamis ended the Minoan Empire and how a volcanic eruption is 536 helped eventually bring down the Mayans and is believed to have been a cause of the Justinian Plague in Byzantium. Or if not civilization enders, maybe knocked a superpower at that time down several notches.

1902 was a bad year for volcanic activity.

The arm from the nevado del ruiz eruption, lahars are powerful enough to rip a person to shreds

11:26. “Co-LAIR-uh”?? Cholera is pronounced “CAH-ler-uh”. Other than that, nice narration.

This video is incredible, you should make more!

It was pyroclastic flows on top of the explosions. The ash from the flows created the casts of the people that lay where they were killed. And the heat was enough to make their brains explode in the skull, so if the pyroclastic flows didn't kill them, the exploding brains did. The flows are purely ash and rock, not lava.

You forgot to mention that grimsvoltin was also erupting at the same time as Laki

why my country indonesia hold the most deadliest disaster... im so

[starry]

It will be nice to put Mt. Pinatubo or Mt. Taal in my home country: Philippines and Mt. Saint Helens in USA in the honorable mentions.

Mother Nature and Father Time are undefeated! We all have to go. It's just a matter of when.

Well, I've gotta say that for your average Top 10 list about volcanoes it's as far as I can tell mostly factually correct and not using stock footage from random unrelated volcanoes. Well done.
Just some minor (and hopefully constructive) criticism, when talking about explosive eruptions then talking about lava being spewed isn't entirely true, it's almost exclusively pyroclastic flows until the worst of the pressure has been vented after which lava will be extruded, typically for example in the shape of a lava dome to plug the vent and then building up pressure inside again. This process of explosions, extruding lava, collapsing in new explosions can repeat until there isn't enough pressure to push more material out the conduit.

Explosive eruptions are typically either triggered by highly viscous magma containing a lot of gas that has been trapped inside it causing very high pressure, or having the lava regardless of viscosity come into contact with water in some form, be that lakes or glaciers or submarine eruptions as the water triggers violent steam explosions when superheated. Good examples of water interaction is Kelud and Nevado Del Ruiz, Kelud frequently having dangerous crater lakes forming incresing explosivity and Nevado melting the glaciers, both trigger considerable lahars. An example of relatively non-explosive lava interacting with water would be for example Eyjafjallajökul where what would have otherwise been relatively problem free fountaining of lava turned into big ashy explosions sending it far up into the atmosphere thanks to the glaciers and groundwater, or the violent birth of Surtsey.

I thought if you paid for YouTube the commercials would go away.
